There may have been more than one, but the one that made the news was, of course, Corregidor (not sure if the spelling is right), which was the location of a fortress which was assumed to be impregnable. The troops were US Army ---not Marines. Marines were used later to re-capture many of the islands and allowed the army to return to Philippines.
